This is my 5th year riding in the PMC, which has become a significant staple of each and every summer.

I ride in the Pan-Mass Challenge to help fund vital cancer research while being able to ride alongside my father, who lost his dad (my grandfather) to cancer, and honoring my mother-in-law Pam's recent brave battle with pancreatic cancer.

Beyond the personal significance, the PMC community inspires me deeply—cancer survivors cheering from roadsides, grateful families holding signs, and dedicated volunteers creating an atmosphere of unwavering support.
